Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe is a winery in the southern Rhône wine region, from the appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The estate is a producer of red and white wine and estimated among the district's leading properties.

[1] Vines were initially planted on the Plateau de la Crau by Hippolyte Brunier in 1898, between the villages of Bédarrides, Châteauneuf and Courthezon, establishing the core of the present day vineyard of Vieux Télégraphe.

[3] Following the phylloxera crisis, the task of rebuilding the property went to the next generation, in Henri Brunier, who eventually passed the estate on to his own sons, Daniel and Frederic, in 1986.

[4] Additionally the Bruniers run the estates La Roquette, and in Gigondas, Les Pallières.
